Voltaire: "Watering one's own garden seems too modest a goal in this age of grandiose ambitions."

Nothing stays the same forever. You must learn to change as life changes, or life will force you one way or another.

At some point, you have to get up and try to continue on with life, or else you'll be stuck in that phase forever.

Your life does not get better by chance. It gets better by change.

Be the kind of person who gets better at things.

Choose hard now so that later can be easy.
